Flag's half staff for dying Constitution

People have asked me why I have lowered my American flag to half staff. I tell them several weeks ago, in the span of only about one week, at least three outrageous acts took place:

» President Barack Obama used his executive privilege to prevent Attorney General Eric Holder from having to divulge his part, and others', in the "Fast and Furious" scandal. That's the name given to the scandal where our own weapons were used by a Mexican drug cartel to murder our own border patrolmen.

» Also, the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate part of Obamacare could be considered Constitutional as a tax, but not as part of the commerce clause, even though the Democrats presented it as not a tax.

» The third thing that happened is even though the Supreme Court upheld the "show me the papers" part of the Arizona immigration law, the Obama administration immediately declared it would severely limit federal enforcement cooperation with local and state authorities to do exactly that.

So why at half staff? In my mind, our Constitution and Republic as conceived by our Founding Fathers either died or are lying on their death beds. Apparently, he feels the Constitution is a worthless document and he is above all that.

At least watch and listen to someone other than the mainstream media to try to get another side of the issue, whether or not you agree. You needn't be in lockstep mit der Fuhrer and follow him right over the cliff. Get past the pretty smile, the eloquent prose off the teleprompter and the empty promises and untruths made to gather more votes, inflate his ego and lead us further down the path to socialism. Look at Europe, they are about 10 years ahead of us on that path.
